Differentiation of the Francsella tularensis subspecies by the INDEL typing method

Журнал микробиологии, эпидемиологии и иммунобиологии, 2022
Background. Francisella tularensis, the etiological agent of tularemia, belongs to the facultative intracellular pathogens that cause severe disease in humans and man species of animals, and is a category A bioterrorism agent. Currently, F. tularensis is

Diversification and Distribution of Ruminant Chlamydia abortus Clones Assessed by MLST and MLVA

PLOS ONE, 2015
Chlamydia abortus, an obligate intracellular bacterium, is the most common infectious cause of abortion in small ruminants worldwide and has zoonotic potential. We applied multilocus sequence typing (MLST) together with multiple-locus variable-number tandem repeat analysis (MLVA) to genotype 94 ruminant C.

Application and evaluation of the MLVA typing assay for the Brucella abortus strains isolated in Korea [PDF]

BMC Microbiology, 2009
A Brucella eradication program has been executed in Korea. To effectively prevent and control brucellosis, a molecular method for genetic identification and epidemiological trace-back must be established. As part of that, the MLVA typing assay was evaluated and applied to B.

The current MLVA typing scheme for Enterococcus faecium is less discriminatory than MLST and PFGE for epidemic-virulent, hospital-adapted clonal types

BMC Microbiology, 2007
Background MLVA (multiple-locus variable-number tandem repeat analysis) is a reliable typing technique introduced recently to differentiate also isolates of Enterococcus faecium.

Evaluation and selection of tandem repeat loci for Streptococcus pneumoniae MLVA strain typing [PDF]

BMC Microbiology, 2005
Abstract Background Precise identification of bacterial pathogens at the strain level is essential for epidemiological purposes. In Streptococcus pneumoniae, the existence of 90 different serotypes makes the typing particularly difficult and requires the use of highly informative tools.

Diversity of Yersinia enterocolitica isolated from pigs in a French slaughterhouse over 2 years

MicrobiologyOpen, 2019
The pig is one of the main reservoirs of Yersinia enterocolitica strains pathogenic to humans. A description of the Y. enterocolitica population in this reservoir, and accurate discriminatory techniques for typing isolates are needed for prevention ...

Multiple-locus variable-number tandem-repeat analysis of Streptococcus pneumoniae and comparison with multiple loci sequence typing

BMC Microbiology, 2012
Background Streptococcus pneumoniae infections remain a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. The diversity of pneumococci was first evidenced by serotyping of their capsular polysaccharides, responsible of virulence, resolving into more than

Genetic structure and diversity of Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae based on a MLVA typing scheme. [PDF]

Front Vet Sci
BackgroundSeveral epidemiological studies have been carried out using Multiple-Locus Variable-number tandem repeat Analysis (MLVA) for M. hyopneumoniae typing. However, a global perspective on the implications of the genetic diversity of this pathogen is lacking.ObjectiveThis study aimed to determine and to analyze the genetic structure of M ...

Molecular characterization of Coxiella burnetii isolates by infrequent restriction site-PCR and MLVA typing [PDF]

BMC Microbiology, 2006
AbstractBackgroundCoxiella burnetii, the causative agent of Q fever, has a wide host range. Few epidemiological tools are available, and they are often expensive or not easily standardized across laboratories. In this work,C. burnetiiisolates from livestock and ticks were typed using infrequent restriction site-PCR (IRS-PCR) and multiple loci variable ...
